Nice Job. It does look very nice. Is it heavy with all your equipment in it?.

Great looking case! I doubt that there is more than a couple pounds difference between it and the standard aluminum case.

thanks for the reply.. with all the stuff inside 4 battery 2 pack for the transmitter 2 charger heli ect. she weight exactly 20pound...I dont know about the alluminum case..probably a lot less but I have a lot more space and everything is tight fit. You cant see it in the picture butt everything fit in a specific space

Hey pat750r - Awesome JOB! How about posting some quick down and dirty plans and materials list for this case... I'd love to build one like yours also! What type of wood material did you use, pine?

thanx/B

Gosh. Darn. That's a great looking case for your T-rex. More durable than the aluminum one and more spacious.

Nice job on the box! I'd like to build one for my 600 but it would be a little on the big side.
